Issue in saving workflow and files onto different drives

[pepeto]

SAVE DATA is not saving.
The widget ask for a filename, but I have tried different names, directories and formats. But no luck.

I table with data, link "data save", select a filename and NOTHING, just the error of "filename is not set"

Thank YOU!!!

This is interesting. And quite impossible to reproduce - I can look at the code, but don't see how this could happen. (The error, which says that you have not chosen the file name, checks whether the filename variable is empty, and the only point at which the name is set by the standard save dialog, which returns the filename - unless the user cancels it. So if you went through this dialog, I don't see how the name could not be set.)

This should be of no consequence here, but: your directory (including directories that lead to it) have no non-ascii characters? (It should work anyway, but -- just to check.)

Does View / Log show anything interesting?

Do you have any programming skills? Would you be able to insert a line of code here and there and tell us what it prints out?

I have identified the root cause of the issue. It appears that the problem arises from having a directory mapped as a disk drive. When attempting to save the table to this mapped drive, I encounter the error. However, if I opt to use an actual logical disk unit for saving the table, the process completes successfully without any errors.

The problem is calling os.path.relpath with arguments from two different drives, and of course, such relative path can not exist. We never noticed it on Macs and Linux because here that can not happen.

Hahaha, I'm sorry for being a Windows outsider. Thank you so and I hope you have time to fix it.
Orange is the best!!!

In the meantime, if you save your workflow to the same drive as the destination this should be OK.
